I certainly agree with that paragraph. B&W is about the play of light and
shadow. Often the soft light that makes a great color photo does not work at all
in B&W.

One of the things that's often overlooked in discussions of this sort is
lighting. When shooting "real" B&W, one is concentrating on tonality, and
would often be using the light in a scene differently than when shooting
color. So, converting color to B&W is often not the ideal way to get the
best B&W result. The problem is compounded by the number of people who
think they're making good B&W conversions who've never worked with B&W
film. Some images just don't lend themselves well to conversion, regardless
of the method used.
